[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 257638, member: 10"] The 338 based wildcats on the 408 case are main stream. To my knowledge, there are no less then five of them available to the public, 338 Chey Tac, 338 Extreme, 338 Sniper Tac, 338 Big Baer and my 338 Allen Magnum. I am sure there are others but these are the ones mentioned most here on LRH. The 375 version also has several options, 375 Chey Tac, 375 Sniper Tac and my 375 Allen Magnum. As far as the 408 caliber, there is basically two, the 408 Chey Tac and my 410 Allen Magnum. My 338 AM is quickly becoming my most popular chamber request only surpassed by the 300 RUM and 338 Edge in popularity. Barrel life is really hard to predict. Depends on so many variables its hard to say. In my testing, the 338 AM will get you around 600-900 rounds of accuracy life per barrel if its cared for. This all depends on how the rifle is used. The harder cut rifled barrels will tend to offer a bit more barrel life. The 375 cal will be significantly more, I would say 1500 easily of the barrels are not abused. 408 versions should go well over 1800 rounds if cared for properly. Projo wise, the 300 gr SMK is the go to bullet for the 338 versions. There are a couple more options coming on line from Hornady and Berger but they are not ready yet. For the 375 cals, there is the 350 gr SMK available from CHey Tac. EDM is offering some lead core match bullets in the 408 as well. There are several solids being made and some custom bullets made in all calibers but they are not mainsteam yet. [/QUOTE]
